That's been my inclination from the beginning, though somehow I think he's going to try to connect it to classical theism, rather than Open.

Well of course this has been the intent all along, hence my comment re: shenanigans and attention seeking. I just wish he would get on with it and stop insulting the intelligence of some of the readers herein. Probably will be best to look for the revelation of Display.exe exactly 114 days from now.

One exists in some form somewhere (data), the other exists only in the mind of the author at best. Then there's the future having to be known thingy.

Why would the future have to be known?

There is a finite amount of ways to arrange sentences on a paper, given enough time couldn't the computer program run through all of them? That wouldn't be evidence one way or the other for the future being known.

Do you think display.exe is an actual program, or is Bob just trying to make some point?

I don't know... maybe both?

It is even more amazing than just knowing the future.
Display.exe can even display the part of the poem "Kubla Khan" that was never written because the author got distracted in the middle of writing it and forgot the vision he was describing.
That means the program can even display pages that never have been and never will be published.

Bob would not say he has written a program unless he has done just that.
He is also trying to make a point.
